Communication on the internet is public; everything can be intercepted. With an SSL certificate, traffic on your website travels via an encrypted connection. This means that you provide extra security for your website. Additionally, it influences your ranking on Google, meaning your website takes precedence over competitor websites that do not have an SSL certificate installed. You can recognize websites that have an SSL connection installed by the closed padlock and https:// in your browser's address bar.
The abbreviation SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and ensures an encrypted connection for traffic on your website. For websites that request or communicate sensitive information, an SSL certificate is absolutely essential; however, even for websites that do not use this data, an SSL certificate can do no harm.
For companies that manage a website, security is often not the first priority.
Security is our top priority. This means that we work daily on securing all our servers to minimize the risk of our customers being hacked. An SSL certificate is a recommendation we must give our customers to add to their website as an extra security measure. Every website found online carries a risk of being hacked. Adding an SSL certificate helps ensure that data on your website is transferred securely. Whether filling out a form or ordering a product, it is of great importance that the security of your website and visitors is guaranteed.
Which certificates can we apply for for you?
Extended validation and green address bar – For webshops, banks and other commercial websites ( Extended validation )
In their browser, the visitor sees the https indicator, the padlock icon, a green address bar, and the name of the applicant to indicate the additional validation. In the certificate itself, the visitor can find the full company details and thus verify the identity of the website.
- Extra security, recognizable green address bar with company details
- Verification of domain name holder, company details, and applicant
- More confidence: higher revenue
- Higher ranking in Google when using SSL.
Validation without green address bar – For public websites without a commercial function (Organization validation )
When we need to apply for this certificate, all company details must match the Chamber of Commerce records. If these details match, the certificate will be issued. An SSL certificate with Organization validation will contain confirmation that the owner has been verified; this will inspire extra confidence compared to a Domain validation certificate.
- Secure connection, recognizable by the padlock icon
- Verification of company data
- Fast delivery
- Higher ranking in Google when using SSL
Validation without green address bar – Secure connection for non-public websites ( Domain validation )
Validation without a green address bar is the cheapest and fastest-deliverable SSL certificate available. Due to fast delivery and relatively low costs, this is the most popular SSL certificate among companies using smaller websites. The visitor does see the https indicator + the familiar padlock in their browser. The applicant's company name is not included in the certificate, nor is it included in the address bar.
- Secure connection, recognizable by the padlock icon
- Higher ranking in Google when using SSL
